At the moment, the atmosphere in Xiling City, the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, is quite peaceful. The news that Qin Emperor Shi Yu has passed away and that the expeditionary force of the Great Qin monks to the Wilderness and Vast Continent was almost completely annihilated has been tightly sealed.
But in Xiling City and inside the palace, everything was gloomy and gloomy, exuding a deathly tranquility, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Although the Great Qin Dynasty showed strong control even at this moment, preventing the internal chaos from falling into chaos, there was still a feeling of panic inside the palace.
In the main hall in the center of the palace, there are several people sitting facing each other at the moment. Beside them, there are some magic projections. They are the magic projections of the top powerhouses of the Qin Dynasty who have important responsibilities and cannot be present in person.
Participate in this important meeting for the Qin Dynasty.
No matter whether a real person comes here or a magic power is projected here, everyone's eyes will always pass over the empty dragon chair in the main hall intentionally or unintentionally, and then sigh secretly.
An old royal man who was in the realm of soul transformation stroked his beard and said softly: "Just follow His Majesty's instructions before leaving."
Although Qin Emperor Shi Yu died, he personally fought in the war between the two realms. Even if Shi Yu had the Immortal Dragon City with him, he might not be safe.
Although it was unlucky, from a responsible perspective, everyone in Da Qin, including Shi Yu himself, had to make various plans, which naturally included all kinds of bad plans.
For example, Emperor Qin Shi Yu fell, or the Immortal Dragon City was damaged or even destroyed.
Of course, this also includes the worst possibility. Qin Emperor Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City were both lost.
This also involves whether the external situation has eased or become tense after the death of Qin Emperor Shi Yu. Whether the overall situation of the war between the two realms is critical for the Qin Dynasty.
The current actual situation is undoubtedly the worst outcome.
Under such circumstances, the person who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Qin Dynasty is undoubtedly not the current Prince Supervisor Shi Chongyun, who only has the late Nascent Soul cultivation level.
Among the three powerful Hedao warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Emperor Shi Yu fell, and Gunyang King Shi Zongmao was seriously injured. Now the strongest one is left. Only Nanming King Shi Zongtang who stayed in Xiling City before was left.
With King Shen Long being blocked by Zhu Yi and Tiangang Sword Lord, and the Youdu clan not coming to the vast land of China, the current situation in Da Qin is not too critical.
In this case, someone might propose that Shi Zongtang be temporarily regent to support the overall situation of the Qin Dynasty.
But now that the Youdu clan has arrived, although the primary target is Taixu Guan, other forces, including the Qin Dynasty, also have to be vigilant and be prepared.
If you want to gather the energy of the dragon vein, you must ascend the throne as emperor. The current situation no longer allows Shi Chongyun to ascend the throne. In order to concentrate all the power of the Qin Dynasty and guard against foreign enemies in the strongest posture, this can only be done by Nanming King Shi Zongtang.
In the edict of Qin Emperor Shi Yu before his departure, it was also clearly stated that under certain circumstances, Nanming King Shi Zongtang would automatically be promoted to the throne of the Emperor Taishu, becoming the first heir to the Qin Dynasty.
There is no need to take advantage of any language loopholes. No one will deny that the current situation is undoubtedly the specific situation Shi Yu mentioned.
Perhaps the only person who was disappointed was Shi Chongyun, but as the only monk below the Yuan Shen realm present at the meeting, he was expressionless and silent at this moment.
Nanming Wang Shi Zongtang sat at the top of the crowd. He did not look at the dragon chair on the stairs, and was also silent. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Opposite him was a mana projection from another powerful man in the Hedao realm of the Great Qin Dynasty, King Gunyang Shi Zongmao.
It's just that Shi Zongmao's condition is very poor at the moment. Even just the projection of mana can make people see his weakness. This is really a very rare thing for the always tough King Gunyang of Great Qin.
Shi Zongmao coughed dryly and said slowly: "For the current plan, we, the Qin Dynasty, can only shrink the defense with all our strength, and will not start a war with anyone lightly. We will survive this war between the two realms first."
An elder of Da Qin beside him sighed and said: "Your Majesty and the Immortal Dragon City were lost together. Our Da Qin fell into the weakest moment in thousands of years. The accumulation after the last war between the two worlds was almost exhausted. It is to survive this time."
After the war between the two worlds, the situation has also changed dramatically. Where should we, the Qin Dynasty, go from here?"
After hesitating for a moment, the old man said softly: "Could it be that we really have to fall to the Xuanmen Tianzong?"
All the powerful senior leaders of Da Qin present were silent.
How to get along with an ally that has become increasingly powerful and increasingly difficult to match has been a headache for the Qin Dynasty in recent years.
Now this problem seems to have been solved, but this solution really makes everyone in Da Qin unhappy.
But at this moment, it seemed that they had no other choice.
"If you don't fall to the Xuanmen Tianzong, are you going to fall to the Great Zhou Dynasty?" A middle-aged man opposite the old man curled his lips: "Although it is indeed unwilling, the Xuanmen Tianzong will not interfere in our internal affairs for now.
, and he doesn’t mean to blindly drive and control us.”
"Beirong Royal Court, like our Great Qin Dynasty, is a force with deep experience in the world, but the Xuanmen Tianzong has no intention of deeply understanding them."
The middle-aged man snorted: "The enemy we should be most wary of now is the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the war between the two realms is currently going on, who knows whether Emperor Liang Pan of Zhou will take risks. After all, for Great Zhou, now is
This is the best time to annex our Great Qin."
Everyone present nodded. The Zhou Dynasty has always been their most wary enemy. Even if it has been low-key and dormant in recent years, Zhou Emperor Liang Pan's ambitions can never be underestimated.
At this time, an old man suddenly looked at Gunyang King Shi Zongmao hesitantly and asked: "Uncle King Gunyang, you said before that there seems to be a lot of doubts about the battle situation there..."
Shi Zongmao looked solemn: "I also listened to the simple description of the Tiangang Sword Master. The main reason why His Majesty fell and the Immortal Dragon City fell was because of an accident at the Dragon Soul Sacrifice, which caused the situation to slide into an uncontrollable abyss."
"The Tiangang Sword Lord arrived a little late, which forced His Majesty to make dangerous moves. But this is not to blame for the Tiangang Sword Lord. It's just Zhu Yi of the Xuanmen Tianzong. His strength has changed significantly before and after this battle."
"Before His Majesty's death and after his death, the strength of Elder Zhu of the Xuanmen Tianzong was not consistent, but it was not a matter of refining the gods and returning to the void, or breaking through the realm."
Shi Zongmao took a deep breath: "Although we cannot rule out the possibility of breakthroughs in magical powers, the difference between before and after has to be taken into consideration."
All the Da Qin monks fell silent. At this time, Shi Zongtang, who was sitting at the top, gave a high-five, and everyone else looked at him.
Shi Zongtang said quietly: "No matter whether there is something fishy or not, at this moment, our most reliable ally is still the Xuanmen Tianzong."
"The Youdu clan has descended on the vast land of China. The main force of Taixu Temple and Haotian Mirror are trapped in the Xuanhai and cannot return. It can even be said that everyone in the vast land of China, including Xuandao Zun of Baiyun Mountain, must now count on Xuanmen.
Only when the Lord returns from Tianhuangguang Continent can we in the world of human cultivation be confident enough to face Youdu."
"Taixu Temple had an accident in Xuanhai, and its own mountain gate became the most likely target of attack by the Youdu clan. After this war between the two realms, Taixu Temple is likely to be severely damaged. Although Xuanmen Tianzong is also unpredictable,
But judging from the current situation, the prospects are obviously better than Taixu Guan."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has become more and more closely connected with Taixu Temple in recent years. After all, Xuanmen Tianzong is our most reliable choice at the moment."
Everyone present, including King Gunyang Shi Zongmao, all nodded together. One person suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Zongtang and Shi Zongmao, and couldn't help but hesitate to speak.
Shi Zongtang seemed to know what he was thinking, and said quietly: "Despite this, we are not suitable to welcome Shi Tianhao as emperor."
Seeing that Shi Zongtang had made his words clear, the man simply said: "Since we have decided to fall to Xuanmen Tianzong, it is better to be more thorough and make a bigger bet!"
"If I, the Great Qin Dynasty, cannot rise up in China and become the supreme being, and the Xuanmen Tianzong can really sweep across the world in the future, then we will strive to become the strongest force under their rule."
"Huangtian Zun is one of the four heroes under the Xuanmen Master. He has become the Huangtian Emperor of our Great Qin. Our Great Qin Dynasty will strive to occupy the strongest corner in the territory of the Xuanmen Tianzong in the future." The man's voice was a little bit.
He said: "Otherwise, even if we completely fall to the Xuanmen Tianzong, the future development will still be unpredictable. The Beirong Royal Court has made rapid progress in recent years. Not to mention, Huang Tianzun's senior brother Xiao Yan and his wife are the ancient emperors."
Descendants of the same line!"
Although it was not widely publicized and the Ancient World of Immortality was secretive enough, the news about Lin Feng and Xiao Yan going to the Ancient World of Immortality to propose marriage still leaked out.
The Great Qin Dynasty was naturally attracted to this issue for the first time.
Shi Zongtang shook his head: "Let's not mention that Shi Tianhao will never accept the matter of adoption. Even if we can accept the establishment of a side bloodline as the emperor and the direct disciple of the Xuanmen Tianzong as the emperor, Shi Tianhao's attitude towards the Xuanmen Tianzong
The sense of belonging is far stronger than that of the Shi family, let alone our Great Qin Dynasty."
"Although it's a bit hard to tell, he actually has no feelings or sense of belonging to me, Da Qin. In the whole country, the person in the royal family with whom he has the closest relationship is Xingyun."
Upon hearing this, the senior leader of Da Qin had a look of regret on his face and stopped mentioning the previous suggestions.
Shi Zongmao said in a deep voice on the side: "Let's work hard to survive the disaster of this war between the two realms. We need some time for the people to accept the news of the death of the previous emperor, establish a new emperor, and re-gather the energy of the dragon vein. These are all
It must be done as soon as possible.”
He looked at Shi Zongtang: "In this special period, the enthronement ceremony has to be simple. In order to avoid confusion, we cannot invite other colleagues to watch the ceremony."
"It should be so." Shi Zongtang nodded, stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, looked at the high dragon chair, and said slowly: "Inform the Xuanmen Tianzong and other forces that have good relations with me, Da Qin, and we will also start
Get ready."
In the main hall, the mana projection of Gunyang King Shi Zongmao stood up first. After a moment of silence, he slowly bowed to Shi Zongtang. (To be continued)
